The desire to create is in all of us. Zu3D by ZuLogic Ltd wants to get us all creating as early as possible.

Zu3D is a full stop-motion animation software for the iPad designed so simply, your child can use it. Supped up with all the features including titles, onion skinning, sound and credits, Zu3D has everything you need to animate your own movie.

The app is built just like a professional set-up that is familiar to anyone who has edited video before. Video, titles and sound have their own channels for editing and layering effects. Some sounds and music are included, as well as some basic designs for beginning and ending title sequences. Here is a full description of what Zu3D offers:

Create your own animation by taking pictures, importing & recording sounds then adding titles, credits and speech bubbles. When you’re finished just export your animation to share with friends or upload directly to YouTube or Zu3D.com

Check out the tutorial video on http://www.zu3d.com/ipad to see just how easy it is.

ZuLogic Ltd had created this originally as a computer based educational software. This app is the iOS version of it. Clicking and dragging becomes touching and tapping. It is easy to get started and pretty self explanatory, though I definitely recommend watching the tutorial video as it is very thorough and really shows what all can be done. My favorite feature by far was the onion skinning. As you snap a picture within the app, it automatically put the last picture’s skin on top of the screen so you can accurately line up your next shot. Though the tools are fairly basic, everything is there to make a movie or animation that shines.

Zu3D is available for iPad and is on sale for only $0.99, regular price is $9.99. Get it before it’s too late.
